Installation

To use the ApiRequest and SuravLocal classes, you need to include the following dependencies in your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  surav: ^1.0.0
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

Run flutter pub get to install the dependencies.

Usage

Creating an ApiRequest

To create an instance of the ApiRequest class, you need to provide the URL and optional parameters such as method, body, options, and others.

ApiRequest request = ApiRequest(
  'https://example.com/api/endpoint',
  method: ApiMethod.POST,
  body: {'key': 'value'},
  showLogs: true, // Set to false to disable logging
);

Sending Requests

To send a request, use the send method. This method returns a Future<Response>.

Response response = await request.send();

Handling Responses

The send method returns a Dio Response object. You can handle the response as needed:

if (response.statusCode == 200) {
  // Handle success
  print(response.data);
} else {
  // Handle error
  print('Request failed with status: ${response.statusCode}');
}

Logging

Logging is handled by the Logger package. The logging behavior depends on the request method and whether logging is enabled.

• GET requests: Informational logs
• POST and DELETE requests: Warning logs
• Other methods: Fatal logs

Logs include stack traces for better debugging.

SuravLocal Class

The SuravLocal class provides methods for managing local data storage using the shared_preferences package.

Setting Data

To set a value in local storage, use one of the following methods:

await SuravLocal.setString('key', 'value');
await SuravLocal.setBool('key', true);
await SuravLocal.setInt('key', 123);
await SuravLocal.setDouble('key', 123.45);
await SuravLocal.setStringList('key', ['value1', 'value2']);

Getting Data

To retrieve a value from local storage, use one of the following methods:

String? stringValue = await SuravLocal.getString('key');
bool? boolValue = await SuravLocal.getBool('key');
int? intValue = await SuravLocal.getInt('key');
double? doubleValue = await SuravLocal.getDouble('key');
List<String>? stringListValue = await SuravLocal.getStringList('key');

Clearing Data

To remove a specific value or clear all data from local storage, use the following methods:

await SuravLocal.remove('key');
await SuravLocal.clear();

Additional Functions

packFormData

The packFormData function helps in packing data into a FormData object for multipart/form-data requests.

FormData formData = packFormData({
  'name': 'John Doe',
  'file': await addFormFile('/path/to/file'),
});

addFormFile

The addFormFile function helps in adding a file to the FormData.

MultipartFile file = await addFormFile('/path/to/file', filename: 'file.txt');

String Extensions

capitalize

Capitalizes the first letter of each word in a string.

String text = "hello world".capitalize();
// Output: "Hello World"

getFileName

Extracts the file name from a file path.

String fileName = "/path/to/file.txt".getFileName();
// Output: "file.txt"

getTruncatedFilenameWithDots

Truncates a file name to a maximum length of 22 characters, adding ".." if truncated.

String truncatedFileName = "/path/to/very_long_file_name.txt".getTruncatedFilenameWithDots();
// Output: "very_long_file_na..txt"

getFileExtension

Extracts the file extension from a file path.

String fileExtension = "/path/to/file.txt".getFileExtension();
// Output: "txt"

formatDate

Formats a date string in "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS" format to "DD Mon YYYY".

String formattedDate = "2023-12-25T00:00:00".formatDate();
// Output: "25 Dec 2023"

lastCharacters

Gets the last n characters of a string.

String lastChars = "hello world".lastCharacters(5);
// Output: "world"

firstCharacters

Gets the first n characters of a string, followed by "...".

String firstChars = "hello world".firstCharacters(5);
// Output: "hello..."

Numeric Extensions

toMinutes

Converts seconds to minutes, rounded to 3 decimal places.

double minutes = 120.toMinutes();
// Output: 2.000

Validation Extensions

isValidEmail

Validates if a string is a valid email format.

bool isEmail = "[e-mail]".isValidEmail();
// Output: true

isValidPhoneNumber

Validates if a string is a valid phone number format.

bool isPhoneNumber = "[phone]".isValidPhoneNumber();
// Output: true

BuildContext Extensions

windowWidth

Gets the width of the window.

double width = context.windowWidth;

windowHeight

Gets the height of the window.

double height = context.windowHeight;
